Has anyone participated in the BMW Driving Experience in Namibia?

Details: http://www.bmw-drivingexperience.com...iday-tour.html

7 overnight stays with full board in
single or double room
in selected accommodation
Practical driving exercises and tours
in a BMW X5, including fuel
Local transfer to the airport
Team support (German and English speaking)
Activities programme
including regional highlights
Participant insurance and security note

There was a Carfection video posted the other day on it, and it looked like it would make for an exciting and unique vacation. For 4600EUR full board it's not a bad deal either.

E: In case anyone is wondering, here is the video:

I read the title and thought this was a joke.

Unfortunately the online booking form is not available from 03.05.16 to 12.05.16, as we are carrying out maintenance work on our system.

Now that is a joke.

Though, that would be an extremely nice vacation.

European way of stating dates. So it's offline from May 3rd to the 12th, not March till Dec. LOL

What I envisioned.

5/5 Edit: glad you guys like this. Truly what went through my head when I saw this thread. African Stig and all (although he was in the first Africa special).

Interesting experience for sure!

DEANMW · 05-05-2016, 06:14 PM

This looks really great. I'm curious though if you have to pay the full price for each person if my wife was just a passenger?

This looks very interesting.

The support crew is driving a Land Rover. Why no a X5?

You registered just to post something that someone a few posts above already posted.

VividRacingII · 05-06-2016, 05:13 PM

Very interesting video!

I am wondering how many gallons of diesel they carry through the journey.

Rambler · 05-06-2016, 07:11 PM

What a joke, doesn't the X5 owner's manual say "Do not drive on un-paved terrain?"

If you want an suv with real off road prowess, get a RR, jeep, or yota.

Track experience with a BMW, OK.

Off-road experience ? Better go with a Land Rover

Because in case of trouble while off-roading, you need a Land Rover (or a Land Cruiser)

Exactly

BMW in no way should be used as a serious off road vehicle.
